Woven Stitch Crochet Hat
The hat with a truly unique
stitch pattern that barely
looks crocheted. With this
project you’ll get to practice
crocheting a hat that’s worked
from the band up to the crown.
The band is crocheted in a flat
piece using one of our favorite
ribbing stitches, then joined to
crochet the rest of the hat in the
round. There are no crown
decreases to worry about here.
It’ll draw up and add to the
slouchy fit.
